It does look extremely impressive, and I'm really tempted to play it. Though like Gray Ghost this is one I'll probably leave for the sales. While it looks amazing in so many ways, I also do get a bit of the same vibe of the two Bethesda games I've tried previously (Fallout 3 and Morrowind) that led to me giving up after a few hours. I'd be hard pressed to put my finger on what exactly it is - a kind of loneliness? - but that echo of a feel is enough to make me concerned Starfield might be another Bethesda game that I appreciate more intellectually than actually enjoy playing for very long. It was the same thing that put me off playing Skyrim.

But I think Starfield looks more than good enough to give a chance (as, frankly, does Skyrim), so perhaps when I've had my fill of BG3 for a while I'll do more to overcome my Bethesda prejudice smile.
